YPO (Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation) have recently announced the first national framework for providing training to the emergency services. RIG Systems are delighted to have been accepted and awarded a place on this framework, which will run until March 2020.

The framework provides customers with a route to market for the supply of training to the emergency services, blue light and other public sector organisations; it is available to all public sector bodies, including central government and the wider public sector, social housing organisations, and voluntary and community sector bodies.
